The history of Pakistani romantic movies dates back to the 1950s, when the country's film industry was in its nascent stages. The first Pakistani film, "Gul-e-Bakawali," was released in 1956 and was a romantic drama. However, it was the 1960s and 1970s that saw the rise of popular romantic movies, with films like "Arzani" (1965) and "Anjuman" (1970). These movies often featured iconic actors and actresses, such as Dilip Kumar, Madhubala, and Sridevi.
